Benchmade Mod 44s Rare 2ND

Used BM Mod 44s 2ND No box or papers

$400.00 OBO for the 44s



Will send pics in email mikes1047@verizon.net
Michael,

I asked one of my associates, whom has worked here for about 20 years, and this is what he told me;

"The old (pre-42) balis used rivots instead of pivots which permanently attached the handles to the blades.

Since the stainless handles were cast it wasn't uncommon for pits to open up in the handles during post assembly finishing (typically on the butt-end of the knife).

When this occurred, the knives were marked "2nd" (as in second quality) and sold at a discount.

They were the only "2nds" BMK ever sold.  So although it has a pit in the handle, they are somewhat rare."

Thank you,

I've got a 44s 2nd balisong what is the meaning in (2nd) etched on the blade?
